This modern deluxe five star hotel is located in the very heart of Havana, across the street of the Parque Central, surrounded by famous buildings such as the "Gran Teatro de La Habana", the Capitol, the Museum of Fine Arts and within walking distance from Old Havana, the Cathedral, the Malecón, the emblematic sea-boulevard, and the Prado Promenade, where the cha-cha-cha was born.

The gracious lobby offers a surfeit of marble and lively decor in ochre and bottle green, blending a contemporary style with colonial hints.

The rooms are done up in soft greens and creams and feature antique reproduction furnishings, plus large marble bathrooms with separate tub and shower, vanity mirrors, ceilings inset with halogen bulbs and heaps of fluffy towels.

Many rooms have no view; be sure to ask for an exterior room.

The mezzanine has an upscale cigar lounge-bar, executive meeting rooms, a business center, and art gallery.

There are upscale boutiques, plus a rooftop swimming pool and whirlpool tub, a fitness room and a rooftop grill that serves snacks.

Blending the past and the future with class and refinement, this hotel is without doubt one of the finest options in Havana.

We have no hesitation to strongly recommend Hotel Parque Central.
